A sudden lack of air, screams between the seats and passengers thrown onto the ceiling. For a few interminable seconds, Air India flight AI-2379, which departed from Phuket and headed to Delhi with 145 people on board, turned into a high-altitude nightmare. A violent oscillation of approximately ninety meters which caused seventeen injuries among passengers and crew. In the following hours, however, Air India removed any reference to the turbulence from its press releases, speaking ambiguously of a “sudden loss of altitude”. The Indian Pilots’ Association has launched a sensational hypothesis: during the flight, all three hydraulic systems would have failed at the same time.
